Frank Camacho

Frank Camacho serves as a Contract Specialist within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, where he manages the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure projects across the nation’s protected lands. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts for construction, engineering, and site development services. Camacho plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to preserve historic structures, modernize visitor facilities, and reinforce utility systems in ecologically sensitive and remote locations. He routinely handles complex, multi-year procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on design-build, construction management, and professional services contracts requiring technical rigor and environmental compliance. Camacho maintains established working relationships with leading infrastructure contractors including AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc., HDR Engineering Inc., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in historic preservation, civil engineering, and site rehabilitation. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, clear technical specifications, and rigorous contractor performance evaluations to ensure adherence to National Park Service standards and environmental safeguards. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as open competitions, Camacho demonstrates a consistent commitment to small business participation, with approximately 30% of contracts set aside for total small business concerns under FAR 19.5 and a notable 3% awarded through 8(a) competed programs. His socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a balanced strategy that prioritizes broad market access while intentionally supporting disadvantaged business enterprises. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in engineering services (541330), heavy civil construction (237990), electrical installations (238210), and site preparation (238910). Camacho specializes in acquiring services that support the rehabilitation of historic park buildings, upgrading water and sewer systems, and restoring access infrastructure—all requiring deep technical knowledge of federal preservation standards and construction best practices.
